Seriously fabulous. Now an entertaining stable in our house. Excellent for low carb dieters. Just add a baguette for the normies.

This is one seriously amazing salad! So many amazing flavours! It was the perfect weekday lunch and kept me really full until dinner. Loved the sauteed mushrooms too; I hoped to share this with my partner, but it's too delicious, so I may have to eat it all myself!!

The best lunch since I don't know when!! I made 1/4 of this recipe for myself and made it pretty much as listed. I used sirloin steak, light mayo, no oil or red onions - tiny changes for sure. The flavour in this is great and I would probably double my horseradish the next time for a hotter dressing. Delicious!!! Made for Went To The Market tag game. Thanks Deantini! :)

This was wildly delicious! For the dressing, instead of lowfat milk I used 2 T. heavy cream. Much less horseradish, about 2 teaspoons. We thought the dressing was outstanding on the steak. I also marinated my Walmart NY strips, then grilled over charcoal and sliced thin for the salad. Loved the red onion in this as well, I like to mince it so that I don't crunch down on it! This dinner made us so happy; thanks for posting something we'd LOVE to eat again soon!

Yum. I had some leftover rib-eye steak, so used that. It went together really fast and was very much enjoyed. Thanks Deantini for a nice meal. Made for ZWT8 - Australia.
